Who’s doing to #AWSDevDay in Melbourne on Tuesday? Make sure you come by the Ask an Architect booth to say hello to me and @frankarr! (And if you can’t attend, it’s being livestreamed!) https://t.co/gXCtqSKLDL
@frankarr Of course! He travels in my sunnies case. 🥚❤️

We had brekkie at The Grounds of the City. My first impression still stands: the food is prettier than it tastes. The whole place is like an AI studied Instagram and then designed a restaurant. https://t.co/oHG1tt7SW8 https://t.co/dwyAm6tqt8
@gilmae Ooh, I like those!
@minxdragon They reckoned they’d sell out quick! Skulls were nice but only slip ons. Sizes were 40.5 and 42, I think. You could ring them – Incu on George St!

@jontv @TEDxMelbourne Facebook reminded me it was two years ago this week! Still can’t quite believe it. ❤️
@elegantpoem Haha, she’s at the “lots of ideas and lots of time” stage. Once the clock starts ticking, I’m sure some stress will come into it.
@mmastertheone @lifeasadaddy At the risk of being controversial, I’m going to suggest Mary Poppins and the Virgin Mary both fall into the “not historical figures” category and are thus excluded from my survey. 🙂
@ADuckIsMyFiend And now I just learned about Miles Franklin! 😍

@voltagex @SydTechLeaders We would normally be willing to, but for this particular topic, we’re actually going with Chatham House rules as we suspect people might be more willing to speak about controversial topics if there’s less chance it’ll reflect on their employers. So no video. 🙁
@voltagex @SydTechLeaders Absolutely! Would love to have you as a guest at one of these so be sure to shout if/when you next visit.
@mmastertheone @lifeasadaddy It was something they called out in the original article, because there’s an Alice in Wonderland statue in Central Park.

@selketjah For me, burnout happens when I’m just… over it. When I’m fed up with the entire industry and want to burn it to the ground. Helping people starting out rebuilds my reserves. I gave a whole talk about it: https://t.co/CHWEOPuG5E
Any Kiwis looking for a mentor? 😁 https://t.co/apVKxbZUnD
@jntrnr I’ve just shared that out. The other thing I’ve seen people do is go to a meetup and make an announcement that you’re available as a mentor.
@jntrnr I also gave some more ideas in a talk: https://t.co/CHWEOPuG5E (towards the end IIRC).
@markdalgleish Did we, though? I was a FE dev in the dotcom boom and most of the sites I built were pixel-perfect attempts at print layouts with terrible usability.

@twelveeyes @KatieBarnett_5 Not sure. Ours ended up being about $150 per show. 😬
@Sam_McCosh I did!! After 90 minutes of waiting. 😂
@minxdragon Damn. Yeah, the tickets I got were $150 each. Justified it as getting the date closest to my birthday.

I should add: the reason we have pineapple juice is that the Snook is making Ben’s Pork Ribs with Pineapple Salsa from @masterchefau. (No hibachi though – grilling on the stove!) https://t.co/qGM0lSBf31 https://t.co/y2bAVd0XYY
